Preparation of antimalarial endoperoxides by a formal [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition (Publications)
A formal [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction between a 1,3-dione, an olefin, and molecular oxygen mediated by light is reported, which delivers endoperoxides in good yield through the formation of two
Is <em>Caenorhabditis elegans</em> the magic bullet for anthelminthic drug discovery? (Publications)
Recent advances in handling and readout have facilitated high-throughput screens with Caenorhabditis elegans. A new study demonstrates that C. elegans is a useful tool in high-throughput anthelminthic
Progress with <em>Plasmodium falciparum </em>sporozoite (PfSPZ)-based malaria vaccines (Publications)
Sanaria Inc. has developed methods to manufacture, purify and cryopreserve aseptic Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) sporozoites (SPZ), and is using this platform technology to develop an injectable PfSPZ-ba
Blood or urine IP-10 cannot discriminate between active tuberculosis and respiratory diseases different from tuberculosis in children (Publications)
OBJECTIVES: Interferon-? inducible protein 10 (IP-10), either in blood or in urine, has been proposed as a tuberculosis (TB) biomarker for adults. This study aims to evaluate the potential of IP-10 di
Synthesis and antiprotozoal activities of new 3-azabicyclo[3.2.2]nonanes (Publications)
Some antimalarial agents in use typically bear basic side chains as ligands. Such ligands were attached to the amino substituent of a bridgehead atom of already antiprotozoal active 3-azabicyclo[3.2.2
Malaria molecular epidemiology: lessons from the International Centers of Excellence for Malaria Research Network (Publications)
Molecular epidemiology leverages genetic information to study the risk factors that affect the frequency and distribution of malaria cases. This article describes molecular epidemiologic investigation
Burden of serious fungal infections in Tanzania (Publications)
The incidence and prevalence of fungal infections in Tanzania remains unknown. We assessed the annual burden in the general population and among populations at risk. Data were extracted from 2012 repo
A novel pyrazolopyridine with<em> in vivo</em> activity in <em>Plasmodium berghei</em>- and <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em>-infected mouse models from... (Publications)
Toward improving pharmacokinetics, in vivo efficacy, and selectivity over hERG, structure-activity relationship studies around the central core of antimalarial imidazopyridazines were conducted. This
Ability of physicians to diagnose influenza and usefulness of a rapid influenza antigen test in febrile returning travelers: a randomized controlled... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Fever is a frequent cause of medical consultation among returning travelers. The objectives of this study were to assess whether physicians were able to identify patients with influenza an
